The preparation for this game is simple go to the local grocery store and get approximately ten jars of baby food (different ones of coarse and try to keep them simple either one ingredient or two at the most) and remove the labels, as you remove each label number the jar and make a list of the contents of each jar and its number. To play the game you get each guest to guess what is in each jar by using their five senses tocuh, taste, feel, smeel and sight.

This can be great fun as baby food is not usually to the liking of adults and it can be very amusing to see the expressions on the guests faces as well as the some of the left field answers you will get.

Enjoy and Have a Good’n!

Don’t Say “Baby”

The object of the game is not to say ‘baby’.

When each guest arrives give each one a clothes pin (or possibly a diaper pin) and ask them to pin the pin to their clothing either on their shirt or hem of their skirt.

If a guest hears another guest say the word baby then they can claim their clothes pin.
The guest who collects the most clothes pins is the winner.
It may be best to set a time limit for this game so that people can relax after the games is over, something like half an hour would be good.

This game is a very good way to break the ice at a baby shower where guests do not know each other very well to chat.

Birthing Babies

To prepare this game you will need an ice cube tray or two (You may need more but just make sure you have enough to give one to each guest), and some of those little plastic babies you find in the cake decorating section of your local general purpose store. First you need to fill the trays a little under half full. Then freeze the trays overnight. Now place the little plastics babies, one in each cube slot, into the half frozen cubes, and then finish filling the trays and freeze over night again.

At the start of the shower give every guest a frozen baby in there glass and inform them to keep a close watch on their baby. In order to win, once a baby has been unfrozen that guest must announce that their water has broken and present the baby to the host/hostess of the party.

The first baby to be ‘born’, when the ice cube melts and they have presented it to the host/hostess baby is free, wins the game.

Baby Bottle Candy Count

Purchase some small candy, small enough to fit inside a baby’s bottle, and enough to fill the bottle. Fill the bottle with the small candy and count them as you do so, this may take while depending on the size of the candy, so reserve enough time before starting this task. On a piece of paper write down the total number of pieces you place in the bottle and keep it in a safe secret place until it is time to reveal the answer.

At the shower you have to collect every bodies guess, now I have seen this done more than one way but the easiest is to prepare a sign in sheet so as your guest arrive they can sign the list and write their guess beside there name, if this is a large party then this also gets you a nice list of who showed up.

Alternate method (Works good at small showers): Ask each of your baby shower guests to take a guess at how many pieces of candy there are in the baby’s bottle and write down their answer on a piece of paper.

The guest whose guess is the nearest to the total of the correct answer wins.

Enjoy and Have a Good’n!
